Answer:

The USA PATRIOT Act, has been harshly criticized by various organizations and human rights organizations, due to the restriction of freedoms and constitutional guarantees that it has meant for citizens, both American and foreign.

Explanation:

The USA PATRIOT Act, is a federal law of the United States. It was approved by an overwhelming majority by both the House of Representatives and the US Senate and then promulgated by US President George W. Bush on October 26, 2001, after the attacks of September 11, 2001. The objective of this law is to expand the control capacity of the State in order to combat terrorism, improving the capacity of the different US security agencies by coordinating them and providing them with greater powers of vigilance against terrorist crimes. The law also enacted new crimes and toughened the penalties for terrorism offenses.

Can someone answer this about Japan, will give the brainliest to those who give the best answer
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

In the 1800s, the United States was still interested in Japan. We needed to influence Japan so we could help restore the nation and its economy. We believed that restoring Japan's economy would help prevent the country from becoming a communist state. The United States wanted to trade with Japan in the 1850s.

japan's war goals were to establish a "new order in East Asia," based on a "coprosperity" concept that put Japan at the center of an economic bloc made up of Manchuria, Korea, and North China that would draw on the raw materials of Southeast Asia's rich colonies while inspiring friendship among them.

Under the pressure of US Commodore Matthew C. Perry, who sailed into Tokyo Bay with a fleet of warships in July 1853 and requested that the Japanese open their ports to US ships for provisions, a treaty was concluded.

When Japan surrendered after the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Soviet declaration of war, and the invasion of Manchuria, the expected operation was cancelled.
